Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
The manager asked some personality questions. Some were a bit nosy and made me feel uncomfortable.
They then gave me a coding challenge on a website that could execute the code. The manager quickly answered my questions about the problem without hearing them fully, which caused confusion about what the problem statement even was.
They ignored my "thinking out loud" and were just doing something until a few minutes before the end of the interview. Then, they executed the code to see if it worked. It didn't.
